KENTUCKY -- While the frustration of waiting for a ruling by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit in the Kentucky State University yearbook and newspaper adviser censorship case continues, lawyers for the school may be the only ones still smiling.
Documents obtained from the university by the Student Press Law Center indicate that the university had -- as of April 22 -- spent more than $60,000 to defend against charges that it had illegally confiscated the student yearbook and transferred the student media adviser to a secretarial position for refusing to censor the student newspaper.
